Warnings: implied character death

Link to story: The Cold Hard Equation
Why this should be read: Sam. ♥
Or, in more coherent words: Sam Carter. Being science-y and saving the day. Being a pilot and saving the day. Living one of her dreams and saving the day. Making the hardest of all decisions, and saving the day.
The actual taking off is what Sam was worried about the most, because she’d removed several safety measures, but it all goes exactly according to plan, and she passes the first four days running diagnostics and simulations, over and over, redoing and rechecking her calculations. She has one precious video link with Cheyenne Mountain, and she spends a lot of time with the scientist she’d left in charge in her absence, writing contingency plans and going through the different problems that could occur. The rest of the time she sleeps, or wanders the ship. All her food is standard astronaut fare, dry and light, and they’d carefully calculated the minimum amount of water needed for the journey. Her mouth is dry and parched all the time, but she gets used to it.
There’s one window in the entire ship, and Sam sleeps in front of it, because this is what she dreamed of, floating in the cradle of the universe in a space ship by herself, and it only took a giant chunk of rock hurtling towards a trade agreement planet to make it happen.
